Huang Yuchen frowned slightly, looking at Yu Sheng, a little puzzled.

According to his analysis, at this moment, the defense of the hills on both sides was abandoned, and all the soldiers gathered in the city, if the enemy occupied the hills and built trebuchets, then the city would be a sea of fire, and there would be no way to break through. Even if Yu Sheng later ordered the hills on both sides to be set on fire to block the enemy's attack, he would be able to defend the two hills. However, the soldiers in the city were less than 3,000 men, so how could they defend against the constant attack of the enemy army.

Now the enemy army has not made any moves, it must be waiting for follow-up reinforcements, if the follow-up reinforcements arrive, the enemy will immediately launch an attack and take Changxiang City in one fell swoop. If the war materials in the city are exhausted, the only thing left is white-knuckle warfare, there is no danger to defend in Changxiang City, there are less than 3,000 soldiers, and such a narrow place cannot use war horses to rush and kill, how can it resist the attack of the enemy army.

Once the city gate is breached, there is only one way for the defenders to be destroyed.

Huang Yuchen didn't speak, and Yu Sheng saw the doubt in Huang Yuchen's heart, which was also shared by all the soldiers defending the city. Yu Sheng smiled slightly, and said to Huang Yuchen: "Actually, from the very beginning, I didn't plan to fight the enemy here, and the appearance I made was also to make the enemy general believe that no matter what, we were trapped in Changxiang City, and the trapped beasts were still fighting. ”

Huang Yuchen was stunned for a moment, and his doubts were even worse, and he said: "Deliberately, General, you led the army into the enclave, knowing that there would be no reinforcements in the near future, but why did you want to act like you were going to fight a decisive battle with the enemy army and attract the enemy over, what do you want?"

Yu Sheng looked at Huang Yuchen with a smile on his face, but he didn't speak, just shook his head gently.

Yu Sheng's confident appearance made Huang Yuchen even more suspicious, according to his own analysis, even if he counted the fire formation, there would definitely be no future for defending Changxiang City, and he would definitely end up in a situation where the whole army would be wiped out, but why was Yu Sheng so confident, and he looked like he was winning.

"You don't have to doubt. Yu Sheng chuckled and said, "Just do what I say, and later, you will understand everything." ”

Huang Yuchen frowned slightly, he didn't know what Yu Sheng said, but Yu Sheng had already said so, and now it was such a situation, even if he didn't believe Yu Sheng, what could he do?

The scorching sun was in the sky, and the time was almost noon, and outside the two gates of Changxiang City, there were corpses all over the place, and blood flowed like a river.

In the distance, a few crisp birdsong sounds, and a flap of the bird pierced the sky and flew into the distance.

Blackstone Bridge, city walls.

Sha Shaoyuan was a little depressed.

Since last night, after the enemy set up camp, he gave an order that the enemy army will definitely sneak attack at night, so that everyone is ready. However, apart from a small number of scouts, the enemy did not send any horses.

The entire enemy camp was silent, and from a distance, one could only see smoke flying into the air. Outside the camp, the horse moats were layered on top of each other, which was obviously a way to defend against their own surprise attacks.

But Sha Shaoyuan is not a fool, how could he raid the camp of 40,000 people with 6,000 people, isn't that looking for death?

Therefore, the two camps were so deadlocked, the enemy did not attack, and Sha Shaoyuan could not make any moves.

Cui Chi has been lying in ambush in the nearby jungle, just waiting for Sha Shaoyuan's order, but waiting left and right, but there is no news of Sha Shaoyuan. I filmed the scouts a few times to ask, but the battle on the front line did not start, and I could only stand by in place.

Under the scorching sun, Cui Chi had ordered most of the sergeants to rest in place, leaving a large team to patrol and defend, leaning against a big tree by himself, eating dry food with this clear water, with a helpless face.

Compared with Cui Chi, Sha Shaoyuan is obviously more helpless. As the deputy commander of the expeditionary force, his order was to hold the Blackstone Bridge and ensure the passage of the Dongwangfu army. He himself realized that the Black Stone Bridge would definitely suffer a fierce attack from the enemy, everything was ready, and even the character of the opposing general, Sha Shaoyuan guessed one or two.

But since last night, there has been no movement of the enemy troops. Except for regular fire cooking, there is no intention of attacking. The enemy army did not seem to have come to attack, but rather to take a vacation.

However, Sha Shaoyuan did not let his guard down, and he divided the sergeants into two squads, alternating to trim in case of a sudden attack by the enemy.

Early in the morning, Sha Shaoyuan received the news from the East Palace, and Huang Yuanwu ordered Sha Shaoyuan to defend the Black Stone Bridge without a trace of misconduct. Because the sergeant who was originally responsible for defending the border wall of Dongwangfu had been transferred by Huang Yuanwu to the northern border to garrison, and on the front, there was only Sha Shaoyuan as a defensive army.

From the establishment of the East Prince's Mansion to the present, the East Prince's Mansion has never been so short of troops. Huang Yuanwu's message said that the support will not arrive until three days later. Let him lead all the elites into the enclave when the time comes, and support the rest of his life.

As a veteran of a hundred battles, Sha Shaoyuan certainly knew what this meant, and even the sergeants stationed in the East Wangfu were dispatched, and the crisis that the East Wangfu is encountering now can be said to be 100,000 urgent, if there is a little mistake, the whole game will be lost.

Huang Yuanwu must have made a lot of determination to make such a decision.

Sha Shaoyuan stood on the city wall, looking at the enemy camp in the distance, the camp stretched for several miles, there should be three or four thousand people as a brigade, echoing each other, if it was attacked by a sneak attack, it could be immediately supported, such a formation could be guaranteed.

His brows furrowed, and Sha Shaoyuan began to figure out the thoughts of the enemy generals in his heart.

The Black Stone Bridge is already under the control of the East Prince's Mansion, and if the enemy army can't recapture the bridge, it won't be able to trap Yu Sheng and Ye Guan, and in this way, it will not be possible to drag the entire East Prince's Mansion to death. The stakes are high, and the generals sent to attack the Blackstone Bridge must be the confidants of the enclave chief, and only this kind of person can fully understand the enclave chief's intentions.

But he has tens of thousands of troops at the moment, and in the face of a city wall that is not a barrier, why not attack?

Thinking about it, Sha Shaoyuan felt that there were only so many possibilities for the enemy to act like this.

First, he was pondering how to take the city walls in one go, so he sent many scouts to wander outside the range of the defenders and send back information. Moreover, Cui Chi's hiding place has been discovered, and the enemy general must know that his own defensive strategy, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, he is preparing something.

Second, the enemy general deliberately delays time, and although he does not know what the use of delaying time is, the various methods of the enemy general have the intention of doing so. But no matter how you think about it, I don't know what the enemy is delaying for a long time, the army has already been assembled, even if it is necessary to rush to make siege equipment, such a long time, so many sergeants, it will have been built long ago.

Third, the enemy will disobey the yang and the yin and intend to surrender. This point is also the most unlikely point for Sha Shaoyuan, if the enemy wants to surrender, he can come directly to the vicinity of the city wall and send a letter of surrender, but he doesn't have to be so far away, build a large camp again on top of the original camp, and build many horse rejection ravines, looking like a protracted war.

Combined with Sha Shaoyuan's previous analysis of the character of the enemy general, he felt that the enemy general he faced this time was ruthless and unscrupulous in order to achieve his goal, but he was delicate and calm. Facing such an opponent, Sha Shaoyuan felt very difficult.

"The three-day period has already passed, the people of the enclave don't really think that the Dongwang Mansion only has such a small number of troops, right?" Sha Shaoyuan thought to himself: "No...... Since they knew that the Eastern Prince's Mansion was absolutely determined to win the enclave, why didn't the general rush to attack?"

Of the three possibilities, Sha Shaoyuan is more inclined to the first one, the enemy is plotting a strategy to take the city wall in one fell swoop, to reduce the battle damage as much as possible, so that after taking the city wall, it can also defend against the frontal attack of the East Palace.

Thinking so, Sha Shaoyuan issued several orders again, ordering all the sergeants to maintain a fighting posture and be ready to respond to the enemy's attack at any time, and arranged for the herald to issue an order to Cui Chi, ordering him to send scouts to inquire about the enemy's camp to see if they were building large siege equipment.

Previously, they also sent a few teams of scouts to wander around the enemy's camp, but they didn't find any action by the enemy to make large equipment, or it may be that the enemy's camp is larger and more secretive, so they didn't find it. In order to confirm the thoughts in his heart, Sha Shaoyuan ordered the scouts this time, and if they saw an abnormality, they would report it again.

After receiving Sha Shaoyuan's order, Cui Chi, who had been helpless for a long time, immediately stood up and sent four teams of scouts to be responsible for the four directions of the enemy camp, and specially instructed the scouts to carefully observe the enemy camp, and report it as soon as possible if there was any abnormality.

The four teams of scouts rode away from the dust, and Cui Chi sat down again, leaning against the trunk of the tree, closing his eyes and recuperating.

After all this is done, all that is left is to wait quietly.

Sha Shaoyuan leaned on the battlements, looked back at the rolling Canglan River under the city wall, and then looked at the towering city wall of Dongwangfu in the distance, his eyes narrowed slightly.

The Blackstone Bridge was without a battle for a day, which always made Sha Shaoyuan feel that something was not quite right. But he couldn't say what was wrong, but this strong feeling lingered for a long time.

In the distance, in the camp, there was still silence, and there was no sign of attack.

The sun slowly moved to the west, and the scorching sunlight slowly became soft. In the distance, the shadows cast by the woods slowly elongated, gradually covering the entire enemy camp.

On the banks of the Canglan River, the air is humid, the moisture is abundant, and the vegetation is lush. The blazing sun to the west was covered by a few white clouds, casting a large shadow, leaving a mottled mark on the vast plain under the city walls.

The breeze blew and blew the flags on the city walls with a slight sound. Under the city, there is a quiet and peaceful place.

If you don't consider the imminent war, this scenery is indeed like a fairyland on earth, which is fascinating.

Sha Shaoyuan emptied his thoughts, leaned quietly on the city wall, closed his eyes and breathed, waiting for the battle that belonged to him to begin.
